Off Topic Explosions at Manchester Arena.

I just cannot believe this - what on earth is wrong with some people to actually want to do something so horrific for zero gain?

I can't think what it must be like to lose someone to something like this. I worry about my GF - she's always at concerts; next one this Friday. And my best friends were at Manchester Arena just 3 days ago. It's all very worrying.

Oh, and please ban Patty from this site permanently. How many chances has the twat had?

 

Lost for words, truly heartbreaking

 

Haven't heard it said elsewhere, but apparently it's the 4th anniversary of the Lee Rigby murder.

 

New levels of depravity, evil brutal bastards.

Sympathies to everyone in Manchester.

 

Terrible news.

Barbaric act from cowardly scum.

 

Worrying times for everyone when they'd target children? My daughters at courteeners gig in Manchester on Saturday!

 

Saw a 'Breaking News', about a suspected explosion as I got in bed last night; was bushed so fell asleep. Awoke this morning to this and totally sickened. There is no rhyme or reason for any of this, it's just evil. Those poor families, no words get there.

 

I know what you mean - with my GF being at a concert this Friday night I know I will not fully relax until I know it is over and she's safely back home.

I never ever worry about myself; only about those closest to me.

 

Heartrending.

 

They're not winning at all, you can never start to think like that.

RIP

 

Truly awful. Can't imagine how terrifying it must have been for those there and those who had loved ones there.

These things hit home so much harder when it is a place you've been to many times. I've said before that it is the 'perfect' place for that kind of thing. There are indoor, public 'vestibules' between the exit of the arena and the outdoors. Anybody can get into those parts without a ticket or security checks.

Got to feel for Ariana Grande a bit too. Thousands of people went to see her and many won't ever go home. She's going to feel pretty awful. Hopefully she can take some solace in the fact that she made their last moments happy with the joy and entertainment she gave them.

It makes life generally pretty scary. Anything can happen at any time, anywhere. We can't let it stop us living our lives and being happy though. Stand up, be happy, don't let them win.

what we need now is love.
Not suspicion, division - what we need now is love.
Not hate and fear, blood and tears - what we need now is love.

 

its awful to think of the helplessness parents waiting to pick up loved ones must have felt - RIP to all those murdered by the cowards.

My lads at the R1 event and im extremely worried despite expecting extra security measures

 

This is truly shocking and my heart and soul goes out to all thos caught up in it.

What I can't get my head around is that someone has an issue with governments/politicians/religeons or whatever they are angry about and therefore decides to murder a load of innocent random people in revenge!!

 

As a parent its heartbreaking.As a human being its hard to comprehend. No excuse in the world...

 

Don't forget the police, often maligned, who were first on the scene not knowing if there were further explosions to come, followed closely by the paramedics and ambulance crews, all doing their jobs despite the potential risks.
